XG-100P Battery Fitment Issues

[AES-256-Encryption]

Well the title kinda says it but I have a few lithium batteries NOS I bought Harris OEM, and the NIMH I have fits good these lithium ones get stuck like right at the end before coming out and needs a good pull, what causes this? bent frame? Any info would be great!

I don't know but I have the same thing with batteries, It might be a slight difference in the flex tab, different printting material or dimentions.
my Li-ion I have to use a small screwdriver, prying on the tab whil the width of the battery fits tight. the NI-MH. just fit better.
I took a file and sanding block to the Li-ion, it is a little better but tight.

its so strange its only the li ion and li poly. I can pop it and give it a firm pull and it pops out but still gets stuck right at the end of the plastic tab thing.

UPDATE!
If you’re reading this, there’s one simple fix: bend the tabs.

I applied some heat to the aluminum—just enough to make it warm to the touch—and carefully bent it back into place. It’s not perfect, but wow, the battery finally sits without resistance! I recommend taking the radio apart to do this safely.

We just got rid of our XG-100Ps, main problem I had is that the charger contacts would unlatch the battery and the user would have a radio that would intermittently turn off/cycle power. Used both Harris OEM and Power Products-branded batteries.
